A questionnaire survey was applied to 204 students with 10 knowledge questions and 05 attitude questions regarding HIV transmission. 91,6 % of the answers on knowledge and 77% of those in attitudes were correct. 46 % of the students indicated that blood donors could transmit HIV; 10 % said that HIV infection could be transmitted via mosquitoes. As for the attitudes, 22% of those surveyed indicated that they would commit suicide if they were HIV infected. The attitude towards suicide was moderately associated with the male sex (OR=2.36). Therefore, most of the students have correct knowledge regarding HIV transmission and a lesser percentage of students, though also important, assumes incorrect attitudes.Se realizó un estudio para determinar los conocimientos y actitudes sobre la transmisión del virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana -VIH- que tenían los estudiantes del cuarto año de medicina al término de los cursos de epidemiología en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, de Lima. Se aplicó un cuestionario a 204 estudiantes con 10 preguntas de conocimientos y 5 sobre actitudes relacionadas a la transmisión del VIH. El 91.6% de las respuestas sobre conocimientos y el 77% sobre actitudes fueron correctas. Un 46% de estudiantes afirmó que un donante de sangre puede contraer el VIH y un 10% refirió que se podía transmitir el VIH de una persona a otra por medio de mosquitos. Con respecto a las actitudes, un 22% planteó que se suicidarían si estuviesen infectados por el VIH, lo que fue más frecuente en el sexo masculino (OR=2,4). La mayoría de estudiantes tuvieron conocimientos correctos sobre la transmisión del VIH y una menor proporción de estudiantes, aunque importante también, asumiría actitudes incorrectas.application/pdfspaRevista de Salud Públicahttp://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/revsaludpublica/article/view/18949Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Revista de Salud PúblicaRevista de Salud PúblicaJournal of Public Health; Vol. 1, núm. 2 (1999); 152-158 Revista de Salud Pública; Vol. 1, núm. 2 (1999); 152-158 0124-0064Sanabria Rojas, Hernán (1999) Knowledge and attitudes on hiv transmission in students from a medical school in perú.
